And I think if Bill and Hillary had not both played the race card so shamelessly, we might still be in a 3-way race with Hillary, Obama and
Edwards. I and many liberals I know were wavering between Edwards and Obama, which can hardly be characerized as hysterical Obamamania.
I could say that it seems to disappoint you that John F. Kennedy, Jr.,
ever drew breath.
It is entirely possible that Joseph Kennedy paid off the mob so that
JFK could win Chicago and the 1960 election. It is entirely possible
that had he lived, JFK would not have had LBJ's expertise in getting the civil rights legislation through Congress. Yet he inspired a generation of Americans. You seem to have forgotten the Peace Corps.

There are TWO things Bill Clinton has said that I dislike. One is just petty and silly - the kindergarden thing (which I'm not even sure Bill said in the first place) and the other is the Jesse Jackson comment, which was way over the line. However, the rest is pure bullshit. Obama was criticizing Hillary long before she started fighting back, when she started to drop in the polls. They mutually criticize each other. And I'm not to happy with some of the snide remarks made by Michelle Obama, such as:
"Is he somebody that respects family? Is he a good and decent person?" Michelle Obama asked the crowd about the next president. "Our view is that if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House."
I admire Hillary for staying in her marriage and working things out. AND I don't think other people's marriage issues are ANY OF OUR BUSINESS. I don't see anyone here trashing Jackie Kennedy for staying in her marriage. Obama's made a lot of below the belt shots too, the Harry and Louise style ads for one. It's politics, and they're going to play rough, and they're both doing it.
